Here's a thought...

- Einstein tethered us to linear time because he linked relativity to the speed of light (velocity). You cannot have a negative velocity so, according to Einstein, time is ever moving forward in a linear way.

- "Time", as we know it, is a contrivance of Man (stuff happens and we devised a means of measuring durations, like 'quarters' in a football game). Time, as we measure it, is merely increments of eternity.  

Time travel is a realistic possibility, however, time travel does not include a 'device' (eg. time machine). It (time travel) is a function of the soul (or spirit) which exists both within and outside of time simultaneously.

- Our 'ego/physicalbody' is a time-based entity which, when transcended, liberates us to navigate to any imaginable space-time context. In brief, time travel is an inherent characteristic (ability) of our 'true self'.

- The 'reality of time' is that it is always "now" and the human condition seems to be that our minds and physical bodies are not (usually) in sync.  Our bodies are always 'present in the now' and our minds are always (usually) in either the past or future. When the mind and body merge into the instant then magic happens and eternity reveals herself.
